From the Painting Guide: There's a lovely sense of a gentle breeze in this painting, in the suggested movement on the palm fronds and the boats in the distance.

Things to Consider When Looking at This Painting:
Composition: Does the trunk of the middle palm need more of a curve in it? Or perhaps position it so the base of the trunk (currently hidden by the first tree and the shrubbery) is more obvious, so it doesn't appear to be growing at a sharp angle out of the first tree.
